However the literature has generally disregarded the interaction among the FDI inflows, the shadow economy and human development.…”

During the past few decades, competition between countries has intensified. Every country seeks to become an essential player in international economic relations and take a prominent place in the world market. In this context, foreign direct investment inflows are accepted as a source of competitiveness through knowledge, know-how and technology transfer, but competitiveness is also accepted as a significant determinant of foreign direct investment attraction. Therefore, the specification of foreign direct investment inflow determinants is also important to improve competitiveness. In this research article, we aim to evaluate the impact of shadow economies and human development on foreign direct investment inflows as a possible determinant of competitiveness in 11 post-transition EU members over 1995-2015 period. The methodology employed in the applied section includes comparative and systematic literature analysis as well as second generation panel cointegration and causality analyses regarding both cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity. The empirical analyses revealed that both the shadow economy and human development are significant determinants of foreign direct investment inflows. The causality analysis revealed a mutual interaction between foreign direct investment inflows and human development for all the countries in the sample, but a two-way causality between the foreign direct investment inflows and shadow economies only for Bulgaria, Croatia, and Romania and a one-way causality from shadow economies to the foreign direct investment inflows in the Czech Republic,

Secara teoritis pengeluaran pemerintah yang diperuntukkan bagi kepentingan umum dan kesejahteraan masyarakat akan mendorong meningkatnya pendapatan perkapita yang semakin besar dari tahun ketahun.…”

“…Historical or colonial ties are recognized as having a positive impact on trade and FDI (Ghemawat, 2001;Siegel, Licht, & Schwartz, 2013;Tocar, 2018). For instance, Ghemawat (2001) pointed that a colonial link boosted trade between two countries by 900%.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assess if MNEs from the Eurozone and Ibero-America have different sensitivities to cross-national distance when investing in Portugal, by comparison with non-Eurozone and non Ibero-American MNEs.Methodology: Using qualitative variables on a panel data analysis, we are able to assess the differentiated effects of cross-national distance on MNEs from members and non-members of both groups of countries.Findings: Results suggest that sensitivities are indeed differentiated, with a notable exception of administrative distance which remains with a negative effect throughout all groups.Originality: This research contributes to international business/management literature in the extent that it explores the relationship between cross-national distance and one of the most important international strategic decisions, FDI. It also addresses Portugal’s monetary integration in the Eurozone and the historic and cultural ties with Ibero-American countries.
